10 Things to help plan for Christmas in July

Popular in Australia, Christmas in July is a winter social event. It has no official date and it is even unclear where it has its origins. It is likely to have been created by expats from Northern Europe, probably from Britain and Ireland. The emphasis is on recreating the cold Christmases of home and celebrating with traditional festive fayre. For those living in Australia or just Christmas enthusiasts here are top 10 things to do with Christmas in July.

10. Set a date – as Christmas in July traditionally doesn’t have a set date you will need to set one. If there is an unofficial date it is likely to be the weekend following the 16th July or the following weekend. Families and restaurants in particular make their bookings around these dates. Even ski resorts like Mount Buller have a Christmas in July, where Father Christmas can be seen skiing.

9. Planning – like the real event, Christmas in July requires a deal of planning, particularly if the day’s event is being organised at home. Not just who to invite but the gathering of all the festive trimmings. It is advisable to start this in May or June and not leave it to the last minute.

8. Christmas Crackers – not the easiest item to purchase in the middle of an Australian winter but here are some pointers. If you are organising a gathering with a group of friends, see who has some left over from the previous Christmas, then mix and match the selection. The ‘one dollar’ shop sometimes have some left on the shelf or in the stockroom, check for availability. Use the internet or specialist store, but plan this in advance to allow for delivery.

7. Mince Pies – generally these have to be home made. Food stores don’t stock these out of season, unless you are very lucky. Fruit mincemeat is not too difficult to purchase. But if you require gluten free mix, this is. The best work around for this is to buy extra at Christmas and store away. Even specialist shops don’t stock gluten free mix.

6. Christmas Cake or Christmas Pudding – unless you are a Christmas ‘die hard’, these two Christmas favourites are not a necessity for Christmas in July. Not just time consuming to make but you will also find not much demand. Christmas in July is usually just a one evening event. So you don’t have the usual days or weeks to consume these.

5. Make it an evening event – Christmas in July is very popular particularly amongst the British expat community. To make the event feel more like a traditional Northern European Christmas, the event generally starts late in the afternoon, just before dark. The additional coolness of the night makes it feel more traditional.

4. Christmas Music – no event is complete without some festive music. So it is time to dig out the Christmas CD or the section of the mp3 that only gets looked at once a year. The sounds of Slade’s ‘Merry Christmas Everybody’, really gets the event moving.

3. Turkey – plan in advance for this. If you require a large turkey, your butcher may well have to pre-order one for you. The other option is to buy a couple of small frozen turkeys from the supermarket. Cranberry sauce to accompany the turkey is generally stocked in supermarkets.

2. Christmas Tree – like the Christmas cake, unless you are a ‘die hard’ traditionalist and you can find a Christmas tree farm to cut down a tree for you, don’t bother with a real tree. The best option is to use an artificial tree. If you don’t have one, borrow one from a guest, if they own one.

1. Presents – no Christmas in July event is complete without presents. No need to go over board. Set a budget amongst those attending and have a ‘secret Santa’. Organise this in advance, particularly if children are involved. Ensure that the numbers balance.

There you have it, planning for Christmas in July. A Christmas tradition, that is out of season.

Blood, Tears, and IV’s: A Memoir of a Combat Medic in Operation Iraqi Freedom $10.27 Blood, Tears, and IV’s, a memoir of a combat medic, explores the challenging and emotional experiences of one twenty-four-year-old combat medic serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom with the 173rd Airborne Brigade, based out of Vicenza, Italy. Sergeant Elissa Lonsdale, the author, was sent to Iraq on the Fourth of July, 2003. She knew the situation she was going into would be a difficult one. Based on her journal she kept while she was in Iraq, this book details her most memorable situations. Some are positive, and others were difficult to put into words. With a major part of the Army still deployed and continuing to deploy, Sergeant Lonsdale wanted to share her memories, as they will stick with her always. You realize when you get back that there is no way to erase bad memories, only ways to try and make sense of them. Sergeant Lonsdale participated in the treatment of combat casualties, including soldiers, civilians and Iraqis. She recounts in this book her many strange date-related events, such as when her convoy was ambushed on her birthday; she lost a fellow medic to a stroke; another soldier and friend was electrocuted doing his job on Christmas Eve; many missions to villages surrounded by Iraqi children; rendering care to the sick and wounded; and the bond she formed with the medics she was deployed with. Sergeant Lonsdale is still serving on active duty in the Army and currently holds a position in an emergency room as a shift leader.

MacArthur ordered all U.N. forces, including X Corps and the First Marine Division, north to the Yalu River, assuring them that the Chinese would not enter the war. Wrong again. When the First Marine Division reached the Changjin (Chosin) Reservoir, they found themselves surrounded by sixteen Chinese communist divisions. They had to fight their way out, back to the sea at Hungnam. They had to do all of their fighting, freezing, and dying within a cruel, incredible cold. The Chinese failed to ahold them there, kill them there.a
